“My new 38mm Islander is exactly the watch that I dreamed of, but the Jubilee style bracelet it came on is just a tad blingy for my taste. The Strapcode "Boyer" looks and feels great on my full size SKX009, and even better on the Islander. In marketplace that can seem an ocean of scams at worst and indifference at best, Long Island Watch is a great beach of fair dealing and prompt, personal service.”
“Thanking you muchly for supplying my skx with a fantastic bracelet (all the way here in Australia) The quality of this bracelet is amazing. Totally worth the investment. And thanks Marc for all the informative videos online, its very much appreciated.
Much Love”
“This bracelet is great and is so much better than the stock bracelet. Customer service was excellent, I will be using Long Island Watch for all future watch purchases.”
“This is an excellent replacement for the OEM Seiko jubilee bracelet if you want to wear the SKX013 on a metal bracelet. The bracelet is finished very well and it looks and feels very nice.
One thing that I would highly recommend doing is getting a proper screwdriver to remove the bracelet's screws. I spent over and hour trying to remove four links from my bracelet because I was using a cheap eyeglass screwdriver from Walmart.
It's been difficult for me to take my watch off of this bracelet and I will recommend this to anyone in the future who is purchasing an SKX013.”
“tl;dr - buy it
1st, thanks to Marc for helping to resolve a shipping issue with UPS. Great service!
An excellent bracelet for SKX013. Well put together and finished. The clasp is quality, brushing is a constant, strong match to the watch, solid end links fit snugly. I opted for this clasp option (Diver Clasp) as it seemed to be the shortest (30mm x 20mm). The downside is fewer micro hole adjustments. But from images the spacing appears to be the same regardless of hole no.s. (ie SS201819B049).
Negatives? Given the price they're forgivable. Improvements; 1) removable link screws are not all on the same side - understandable from an efficient manufacturing POV but it would be nice if half were reverse threaded to keep them all on one side facing the arm, 2) end link brushing isn't a 100% match with the original case, but close and superior to stock jubilee, 3) end links aren't a 100% flush fit with the lugs. On the top, its almost imperceptible. On the sides, more obvious.”
